Chrome door handles Reply #17 – September 03, 2008, 08:47:39 AM Quote from: EricCoolCats;234675Aw come on, Carm...with that year-round snow that y'all have in Canada, all you need is a hammer and a punch, and them frozen rivets will pop right out. Little tip: if you don't want to use pop rivets upon reinstallation, you can use 1-1/4" carriage bolts with some Loc-Tite. They're a little more secure as they're harder to drill out, won't let the handle flop around over time, and can be completely removable (with some elbow grease) when you want them to be. Plus they look cooler.I used stainless steel 1/4" cap screws with nylock nuts when I reinstalled mine. I had considered using rivets again but remembered how much it sucked drilling the old ones out (rivets are not easy to drill when you can't pop the center out - it's the hardest part of the rivet so the drill bit wants to "walk" off of it).

Chrome door handles Reply #18 – September 03, 2008, 11:50:01 AM The only problem with the py ones from the parts stores is they are made with plastic parts and they only last a few months till they break. I will be ordering these because they are made with all metal construction, the price is right and I have seen these up close and they look pretty good, better then the ones at NAPA http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&viewitem=&item=140226674824 Quote Selected

Chrome door handles Reply #21 – September 20, 2008, 10:27:49 PM Ford still sells the handles, I picked up a repop first and what a piece of junk, So I called the dealer and they had them, cost about $55.00 but well worth the price, a nice tight handle with no slop or rubbing the body when you pull up. I believe rangers have the same handles. Quote Selected
